Dimensions

Point construction is available in all syntax that requires the input of a single 2D (or, if appropriate, a 3D position). For example,

DIM CENTRE OF @

can be used to position a Dimension line to run through the centre of an existing CIRC element.

When creating linear and angular Dimensions, it is possible to dimension to a constructed 2D point using the

DIMTO POS OF @

syntax. (Similarly DIMFROM POS OF @. The procedure is possible provided the current VIEW is orthogonal, and the 2D position lies in the current VIEW. For example, the syntax

DIMFROM POS OF INT @

creates a Dimension point at the intersection of two (valid) elements.
